    Great post. Morales was a great fighter!

    But I prefer MAB, therefore Barrera = No.1.:good

    Choosing beween MAB and Morales is like choosing between Pepsi and Coke.

    Yeah he lost to [url]Malik Bouziane.[/url]


    Napa is an excellent counter puncher and he is an excellent inside fighter but he is not as effective if you can Box him from long range and peck away at him.

    He seems to have that James Toney/Mayweather style that relies on drawing the opponent inside.

    Yeah i know what you mean he is a counter puncher obviously not on the class on FML or JT but very good. Why is he fighting at 118lbs?!!! I thought he was a 108lbs fighter!!!

    I respect Barrera too. Just believe Morales is the supreme fighter out of the two.

    He is not on there level, but i feel James Toney has had similar issues when relying on that style....Rahman 1,Jones. Both those guys kept the fight long and he was ineffective. I know he was weight drained against Jones but Jones also fought a perfect fight tactically imo.

    I feel Mayweather is little more diverse than Toney because Mayweather is as good from long range as he is from mid-range/pocket. If he cant have success inside(Castillo) he will take it to the outside(Castillo 2,Chavez)

    I dont know why TBH.
